LONDON - February 17, 2008: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will unveil its new Phantom Coupé at the 78th
International Geneva Motor Show on Tuesday, 4 March 2008. Production of the
new car will start at Goodwood in the summer of 2008.

The Coupé is the most driver-orientated model in the Phantom line. A
number of subtle but significant modifications have been made that change
its character. It is noticeably more dynamic, whilst still offering
incredible levels of comfort.

Marrying cutting-edge technology with a beautifully proportioned,
muscular body that exudes power and style, it incorporates timeless
Rolls-Royce design cues in an utterly contemporary manner.

Designed to cover great distances effortlessly, the Coupé is the perfect
choice for a transcontinental trip. Power is provided by the
Phantom’s 6.75-litre V12 that produces 453 bhp, 720 Nm of torque and
has segment-leading fuel economy. A 25 per cent increase in fuel capacity,
compared to the Drophead Coupé, adds significant driving range. Agile,
fast, long-legged and virtually silent, the Phantom Coupé allows both
driver and passengers to emerge unruffled, even after an all-day run.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chief Designer, Ian Cameron, said,
“Rolls-Royce has always been about pace, performance and style. For
the Coupé design we gave the quintessential Rolls-Royce design a dynamic
twist. This adds a sense of drama to the outstanding engineering and
drivability that are fundamentals of Rolls-Royce cars. The dynamic drive of
the Phantom has always come as a surprise to customers and the Coupé takes
it one step further.”

The Phantom Coupé features rear-hinged coach doors which add
considerably to the ease of access to the rear lounge seats as well as to
the overall aesthetics. Crucially, they aid the overall stiffness of the
body as the rear hinged doors allow for an uninterrupted A-pillar helping
to make this the most torsionally rigid Rolls-Royce ever. A brushed steel
finish of A-pillar and bonnet, as seen for the first time on 100EX, is also
available for the Coupé.

At the rear is a spacious picnic boot. A split tail compartment that
opens in two parts, gives easy access to 395 litres of space. The lower
tailgate also provides a comfortable seating platform for two adults when
lowered.

At the core of the Phantom Coupé is an advanced aluminium chassis,
perhaps the single most significant component in delivering the
marque’s legendary refinement. Lightweight and exceptionally strong,
it impacts positively on ride comfort, handling and safety. Hand made, it
requires over 130 metres of welding to create each body.

Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Chairman and Chief Executive, Ian Robertson,
said, “The Coupé has been designed and engineered to be the most
dynamic interpretation of our values. Our 2007 sales figures illustrate how
successful the entire model range has been with an increase of 25 per cent
over the previous year.”
